A Gentle First Sway

Everything was quiet. A warm patch of afternoon sun rested across the smooth, dark surface beneath me. I blinked slowly, taking in the stillness. Then, with a gentle breath, I gave my trunk a tiny, careful curl upward. It moved softly, responding to my quiet thought. I leaned forward just an inch, pressing my soft front foot against the cool, firm leather. It felt steady and grounding. I paused there, perfectly content to stay still and enjoy the warmth.@jaymie_wilder
